I don't know what it must be like to be a writer in general, but to be a comedy writer, it's got to be something - it's a very special kind of talent.

The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.

My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I've had an embarrassing amount of good fortune.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

I've watched those shows my whole life - being on one is like a dream. It's hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I've known my whole life.

I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.
